I've had my cdrw drive for a while, I used it under slink. I guess the standard Debian kernels are a little different now than under slink, or I just took some information in the CDR howto a little to verbatium. Anyway I have always built my own kernels with only what I needed in them and have only used the stock kernel for the initial installation. I do build my kernels with many devices in modules. So yes, I stand corrected, however there is nothing wrong with re-building the kernel to suit your needs. Another reason I build my own is to use a later kernel than currently available as a .deb image. --- "David A.
